|
|
5/1 |
Nelson Gay
Three-time course winner who ended a 22-race losing run at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month; latest effort over C&D a week ago can be forgiven (met plenty of trouble) and he remains capable at this level.

17/2 |
Gustav Graves
Six-time course winner who likes to come late off a strong pace, but he never got going in time when behind a couple of these over C&D a week ago; capable if things fall right, but there are doubts; one of two runners for last year's winning stable.

- Wedgewood
- L Morris / A W Carroll

13/2 |
Wedgewood
Established trailblazer who completed a hat-trick over C&D in the spring of 2023; hasn't got home in either start back here since returning from 141 days off last month and races off the same mark.

10/3 |
Buraback
Four-time course winner including two over 5f in January; ran well when beaten just over a length into third of seven in a 0-78 handicap at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) nine days ago and interesting back at this level.

- Basholo
- Zak Wheatley / Mrs Stella Barclay

|
|
16/1 |
Basholo
Last four wins have come over C&D and she again ran well when beaten half a length by a subsequent winner back here last month; back up 2lb but no reason why she shouldn't again go well.

- Some Nightmare
- William Carson / J G M O'shea

|
40/1 |
Some Nightmare
6f course winner in April 2021 but not seen often on the AW since; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but his record suggests this first start in five months may be needed.

- Beaumadier
- Billy Loughnane / D M Loughnane

|
6/4 |
Beaumadier
Sole win for Daragh Bourke came at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in January; promising stable debut when second of nine at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 15 days ago; considered if showing similar form on his first visit here.

- Bernard Spierpoint
- David Probert / J & S Best

|
40/1 |
Bernard Spierpoint
Dual C&D winner, but six of his nine career wins have come in 0-50 classified events; worth a market check now making his debut for another yard after four months off.
|

|
- The Defiant
- Jack Dace / L A Dace
|
|
|
10/1 |
The Defiant
Handy sort who has winning form over C&D but losing run now up to 18 and he finished 5l behind Beaumadier at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 15 days ago; back down in grade but others look stronger.

- Anglesey Lad
- Joey Haynes / S Dixon
|
|
|
40/1 |
Anglesey Lad
0-11 and tailed off on stable debut at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) in October having done far too much early; best watched now back from another five months off.
